– the reporting of principal markets in which it trades;
– the reporting of assets considered to be illiquid;
– the reporting of an AIF’s risk profile;
– the reporting of an AIF’s risk management measures (counterparty, market risk, liquidity risk);
– the reporting of stress test results; and
– the reporting of the level of leverage both from borrowing or from derivative exposures.
